Understanding Thigh Lift Surgery (Thighplasty)

A thigh lift, medically known as thighplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat, creating a more contoured and proportionate upper leg appearance. This transformative procedure is particularly beneficial for individuals who have experienced significant weight loss and are left with loose, saggy skin that does not retract naturally.

Reasons for Considering a Thigh Lift

Patients typically seek a thigh lift when:

• Skin fails to retract after substantial weight loss
• Excess skin obscures the natural leg contours
• Diet and exercise cannot address skin laxity

Thigh Lift vs. Liposuction

While liposuction focuses primarily on fat removal, a thigh lift comprehensively addresses the thigh's aesthetics, including skin quality, fat distribution, and overall shape. Panacea Plastic Surgery's board-certified surgeons may recommend combining techniques to achieve optimal results.

Ideal Candidates for Thigh Lift Surgery

Candidates for a thigh lift typically meet the following criteria:

• Near ideal body weight with stable weight for an extended period
• Good overall health without conditions that impair healing
• Non-smokers committed to maintaining a healthy lifestyle
• Realistic expectations about surgical outcomes

Consultation Process

During the initial consultation, Dr. Abboushi will assess skin quality, evaluate skin laxity, and discuss individual aesthetic goals. This personalized approach ensures that the thigh lift procedure is tailored to each patient's unique anatomy and desired outcome.

Surgical Procedure Overview

Thigh lift surgery is an outpatient procedure performed under general anesthesia. The surgical technique involves strategic incision placement to minimize visible scarring while removing excess skin and fat. The surgeon meticulously tightens remaining skin and refines the thigh's contour.

Recovery Expectations

Post-surgical recovery involves wearing a compression garment to manage swelling and support healing. Recovery duration varies based on the procedure's complexity and individual healing characteristics.

Potential Procedure Combinations

Patients may choose to combine a thigh lift with complementary procedures such as:

• Butt lift
• Tummy tuck
• Mommy makeover
• Body contouring after significant weight loss
